We've had some small succes with Mouna smelling the kitten's booty. Still hissing sometimes. And swatting when there is a snack involved and the kitten is too close. Mouna is not fully relaxed.

Hi all,
I would like some advice on what to do. We've been through a lot and I spent the last hour crying, finally deciding to type this.
I hope somebody wants to take the time to read it. Our situation is as follows:
Mouna is our 11.5 year old cat. She means the world to me and I feel so...
